When we got our new puppy we wanted to make sure she was well socialized and used to spending days without us in case we both end up with office jobs again (I work from home). She's routinely gotten praise and she comes home the happiest and the most tired. And also stinky, but people who leave a bad review for a stinky dog are ignoring that when a dog plays hard they're rolling in dirt, water, and spit, let alone if you've got one with a penchant for sticking their head in a "stream" (Riza). For us, when we toured the facility was very clean, and they take and post pictures daily of all the pups and even with all the dogs running around all day it's always super clean. The staff are all super friendly and seem to really love their jobs -- or at least really love the dogs so you'd never know. Central Bark is also on the ball with keeping track of vaccinations & will mention if you've got something close to expiring - an added perk for sure since it's easy to miss an email from the vet. For safety reasons, Central Bark asks that you come on as regular a schedule as possible - this keeps their play groups fairly consistent and let's the dogs develop friendships and not be constantly introducing brand new dogs to each other every single day. It also helps with your own routines at home. By doing this, we've found that Riza has made her own friends and has a few doggies that she just LOVES at daycare. It's always fun to see the regulars in the pictures with her. I love them, I think their prices are reasonable and well worth it, and I hope to let Riza come to daycare for as long as we possibly can. Attached are photos from central barks Facebook page of Riza playing in their facility

I brought my English Bulldog, Valentino, to Central Bark for his initial daycare evaluation this…read moremorning. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. After approximately two and a half hours, I received a call asking me to pick him up because they couldn't find a suitable group for him. The explanation I received was that his size and demeanor made other dogs defensive, and that they had difficulty interpreting his body language because he cannot wag his tail and makes low moaning and grunting sounds. For context, these are largely characteristics associated with his breed. English Bulldogs naturally have limited tail movement, and their breathing and vocalizations can sound different from those of other dogs. None of those characteristics, on their own, indicate aggression or poor temperament. What frustrated me most was that I wasn't given a specific behavioral concern or negative interaction involving Valentino himself. Instead, the explanation centered on how other dogs might perceive him and react to his appearance, size, and vocalizations. I understand that daycare isn't necessarily the right environment for every dog, and I appreciate that staff have a responsibility to keep all dogs safe. However, I would have expected a more informed and individualized assessment, particularly when working with breeds that have distinctly different physical characteristics and communication styles. The experience honestly left me questioning whether the staff had sufficient training or familiarity with breed-specific behaviors to make that assessment. The staff were complimentary of Valentino, described him as a great dog, and shared how wonderful he was during his individual interaction with them, which made the decision and explanation even more confusing. Ultimately, I was looking for a safe environment where my dog could socialize, enjoy supervised playtime, and get some enrichment. Unfortunately, Central Bark wasn't able to provide that experience. I hope they consider how their evaluation process accounts for breed-specific characteristics moving forward.

Every time we pull up (and we board her quite a bit), she is so excited to jump out of the car and go in and see everyone. And every time I pick her up, she is so happy. They truly do an amazing job and you cannot beat their prices. I am very grateful to the owner and staff for how well they take care of my baby. Highly highly recommend them! Also, I have to say that the two negative reviews on here could not be more wrong. There is absolutely no way that those are accurate experiences. I've been coming here long enough. I know that they are very communicative with owners, and there's no way they would've sent a dog out injured without having a serious conversation. My dog is very, very hard to handle and very hard to groom and they are so amazing with her. If you're reading this and looking for a kennel or a groomer, seriously don't pay any attention to those negative reviews. I don't think it's fair that they have to have those on here. Do yourself a favor and try Carfields out, I. promise you, you will get wonderful service!

Anyway, we just moved to Minnesota and tried P-K Pet Resort & Spa for the first time this past weekend. Since we don't know anyone here yet, we didn't have a backup plan if things went wrong--and our pets are truly our children--so their safety and happiness were our top priorities. From the moment we arrived, I was impressed. I was invited to tour the facility and was pleasantly surprised by how clean and quiet it was. At most boarding and daycare places, you hear lots of barking and commotion, but not here. Instead, there was soothing music, TVs for visual stimulation, and every dog I saw looked happy--wagging tails, relaxing on their beds, or enjoying their private patios. We've always boarded our pups together because one of them, Newt, has separation anxiety when she's not with her brother, Samson. The staff took my concerns seriously, asking about food aggression and making sure safety came first, but they also respected my knowledge of my dogs. We agreed that if there was any problem, they'd be separated. I appreciated that balance of caution and flexibility. Our dogs got cuddle time, outside play time, and their own outdoor patio space. We also loved having access to a live camera feed--Samson especially enjoyed the patio! On top of that, we received thoughtful updates letting us know the dogs were doing well, eating, and showing no aggression, so they got to stay together. They even joked, asking if we brought the right dogs since I had been so worried beforehand. Overall, P-K went above and beyond to make us (and our pups) feel comfortable. We felt reassured, supported, and most importantly, we could see how happy our dogs were. We'll definitely be coming back.

It was heartbreaking. The staff were spectacular and they wouldn't give up. Kept giving him fresh food, talking to him. Finally broke the ice with a lick mat covered in whipped cream. They sent a picture, he had one side eye on Alex while he licked. Between the live feed, emails, and phone calls, we were able to check on his progress. What a wonderful experience. We were only going to be gone for a few days, so it was reassuring to see his progress. Once he started eating we knew everything was going to be okay. Just a great experience, much more than a business, a real service provider.
